Use cases

Turn a PDF you already have into something readers tap, explore, and act on. A few popular ways to use it:

Free:

• Digital magazines and newsletters – publish each issue as a real page-turning read with a contents list, search, and shareable links to any page.
• Restaurant and cafe menus – put your menu online as a book that looks right on phones. Swap the PDF and it updates everywhere.
• Course materials and workbooks – give students textbooks and handouts they can read, search, and flip through on any device.
• Portfolios and lookbooks – photographers, designers, and studios show their work as a clean flip-through instead of a plain download.
• Annual reports and company profiles – turn a long report into an easy, on-brand reading experience.
• Travel guides and brochures – let visitors browse your destination guide like a printed booklet.

With Pro:

• Shoppable catalogs – add clickable spots to any product in your catalog so a shopper taps an item and goes straight to the product page or their cart. Your print catalog starts selling.
• Real estate brochures – mark rooms, units, or plots right on the page, and let buyers tap for details or send an inquiry without leaving the flipbook.
• Lead magnets and gated guides – offer a free guide, lookbook, or whitepaper and ask for an email before the reader unlocks it, so every download grows your list.
• Sell ebooks and premium PDFs – lock a FlipBook behind a WooCommerce product so only buyers can read it. Great for ebooks, reports, back issues, and course packs.

External Services

This plugin does not connect to any external service to display your FlipBooks. The 3D viewer, PDF engine, fonts, and all assets are served from your own site.

The only data the plugin can send is optional deactivation feedback. If you deactivate the plugin and choose “Submit & Deactivate”, it emails the reason you selected, any details you type, your site URL, and the plugin version to ThemeNcode so we can improve the plugin. If you tick the “ThemeNcode may contact me” option, your email address is included too. This is entirely optional: choosing “Skip & Deactivate” sends nothing, and no data is sent unless you click “Submit & Deactivate”.

Source Code

This plugin ships the full, human-readable source for all of its own
JavaScript and CSS. For performance the frontend loads minified copies
(the .min.js / .min.css files next to each source file), and the
unminified source is loaded instead when SCRIPT_DEBUG is enabled. The 3D
viewer engine lives in assets/flipbook/tnc-flipbook.js (with the minified
tnc-flipbook.min.js beside it) and assets/flipbook/tnc-flipbook.css.

The bundled third-party libraries are included in assets/lib/:

• Three.js (MIT) – https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js
• PDF.js (Apache-2.0) – https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js

The PDF.js data assets shipped alongside it are also part of that distribution:

• assets/lib/cmaps/ – character maps for CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) text
• assets/lib/standard_fonts/ – the 14 standard PDF font programs (fallback for
  PDFs that do not embed their fonts)
• assets/lib/wasm/openjpeg_nowasm_fallback.js – a JavaScript build of the
  OpenJPEG JPEG 2000 decoder, used to display JPEG 2000 images. The underlying
  decoder source is OpenJPEG (BSD-2-Clause) – https://github.com/uclouvain/openjpeg
